There is a potential need for Amateur Radio operators to provide communications support in the Florida Keys. Volunteers will need to bring a dual-band HT with earphone/headset, external (gain) antenna, spare batteries, chargers. While food & beverage, sleeping quarters and showers are available, responders need to be self-sufficient for other personal needs. Deployment requests will vary as will the served agencies. DO NOT SELF-DEPLOY. These missions will be filled through the State of Florida EOC, ESF2 liaison.
